Project playerAttacking midfielder

D. Ljung is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at Osters IF, rated 29.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 132nd of 248 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (72.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.29 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ljung.

Judged on this season alone, Ljung graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 17 of the 17 attacking midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 28 appearances (0.287 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 13th of 17 of the 17 attacking midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 27 Ljung is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 28 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.21 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.5, Ljung carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 17, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Osters IF finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
